"Through this research, my practice has become a ritual; a way to see, to grieve, and to contemplate remediation. Each painting acts as a response, offering a way to better understand the land that has been neglected, and a way to revive the relationships within a bastardised ecosystem. In effect, these paintings become a reflection of our entangling with a colonised and over-consumed Earth; remembering the ghosts of our making and bridging the threshold to possible futures." (Julia Bennett)
